Two new homes ransacked in Bloomfield Township

Police have launched an investigation after a pair of newly built Bloomfield Township homes two miles apart were ransacked in the past five days.
The total value lost in the home invasions was $40,000, authorities say. The unoccupied homes were near completition when targeted.
The homes — one in the 3000 block of Chickering Lane, the other in the 3000 block of Anthony Lane — were both in the final phases of construction.
They were stripped of their fixtures, authorities say. Stoves, sinks, toilets, lights and other construction materials were all taken.
Police say the thefts are happening after hours. Anyone who may have seen construction taking place late in the day in those neighborhoods is asked to call Bloomfield Township police at 248-433-7755.
